If Music Could Talk

Hooks in the tub Who the fuck writes shit like that? It's a skill to be able to do that. There was a notable scifi writer in the 50s or 60s who, apart from his more serious, creative writing, could pump out trashy novels of maybe 30–40K words in length every four days or so. It was easy money for h...

Hooks in the tub

Last night I had a dream that I was the bass player in a band. We were in a crowded basement studio recording ska versions of Smiths songs. Our lead singer was the actor Jimmy Smits. The name of our band was The Smits.

You had to have played "Unlalawvable."

Wow, Houck did his own research on how to pitch a Maddux and succeeded. Against a decent team, no less.

Hope your travails aren't as bad as you think they are now and that you return here in good form. Don't hesitate to reach out if it'll help.

You know, I'm not sure any of you really like music at all.

You know damn well I only enjoy "funny" music

I'm only in it for the hectoring.

No question, the decade had its share of atrocities. I think there's maybe a case for saying the good parts were particularly good and the bad parts particularly bad, though that's more idle notion than scientific reasoning. That's where I lean. Moreover, the stuff closer to the 70s is much better ...

To clarify, is "80s music" a distinct category from music made in the 80s cos i think it's a pretty indisputable fact that there was a hell of a lot of good music recorded during that decade? Approaching half of the Clash catalogue for starters. And 100% of Clash II's! No question, the decade had i...
